If you want to get into a grad school, a good cumulative GPA is nice. But a few Bs should be fine, too.

That's exactly what I felt when I had my first B on a StraighterLine and Study.com course! Then I ended up with a few more and was like... doh! I mean, all my B's were 88 and 89's... I kinda wondered if I should redo them, but then thought, they're ACE credits, there are no letter grades, essentially a 99 is the same as a 79... a pass is a pass! Having said that, if anyone is taking courses with letter grades, work on those and try to get a better grade for GPA purposes, ACE/NCCRS credits are similar to PLA/credit by exams - majority have no grade.

I'm talking about RA classes taken for transfer. They don't count in my GPA, but I still insist on getting A's.

Most schools don't "transfer" grades from other schools - they look at them for things like GPA, but they don't use those to compute an internal GPA, so it really doesn't matter.
Each school has it's own GPA from courses you take there.

I'm not saying they don't matter at all - they totally do. It's just that your A isn't going to show up on the 2nd schools GPA calculation. But your GPA at each individual school matters, as does your overall GPA at all schools if you want to go on to get a higher degree.

I am hoping to find course reviews from anyone taking ONU Your Way courses. Where would I find those on this forum? I'm not a very good "searcher" but really don't want to miss any posts regarding ONU. This thread is the closest I've come. Thanks for feedback on this!

I dont think u can find reviews. Only few people are taking these courses and they probably didnt post reviews yet.

Since I am very interested in learning everything I can about ONU courses, I really don't want to miss out once the reviews and comments do start coming in but I'm not really a very successful "searcher" on this site. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hopefully, people will start posting their experiences here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...UIdaho-etc Great! Hope to start seeing them soon! Really curious to know how long (how many hours) it takes to get through the courses. Also, is there a final, proctored exam? Those kinds of things.
